Power Star Pawan Kalyan began his maiden political speech at Novotel on Saturday with a poem of Telugu poet Devarakonda Bala Gangadhara Tilak and ended with a call to the people: “Congress Hatao, Desh Bachao” (Remove the Congress, Save the nation).
Well, nobody could understand why Pawan Kalyan was referring to Tilak’s poetry, but they clearly understood his call at the end of the speech.
The slogan (it should have actually been Congress ko Hatao, Desh ko Bachao) was originally coined by BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and has already been doing rounds among the people, especially in the North India. So, Pawan hijacking the slogan has given rise to the impression that he might be cosying up to Narendra Modi.
The second part of the slogan is all the more interesting.
When Pawan said: “Desh Bachao,” one wondered whether he was really referring to the country or “Telugu Desam Party.” And there is every possibility for people to assume that he might actually be referring to TDP and not the country.
For, Pawan never uttered a word against Chandrababu Naidu and his role in dividing the State. So, there in so surprise if one starts reading between the lines, Mr Pawan!
